Real Estate At A Glance: Single-family home sales

Related Media

Single-family homes led all categories with nearly 23 percent more sold last year than in 2011. Average price also increased by nearly 6 percent to above $800,000. Homes sales equalled the nine-year average in 10 of the 12 months last year. This reflects the relative ease of borrowing for homes than for condominiums where prices barely moved at all last year. As soon as lenders get real our market will be in full health.

The number for sale is still hovering under 1,500 and shortages are developing in some areas.
